Pensacola Rowing Club Adult Skill Assessment Check Lists

Pensacola Rowing Club wants to provide all our adult rowers with the opportunity to progress their skills through our Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Rowing programs. We hope that the following information helps to create clear communication about how to progress as a rower through our adult rowing program. If you feel that you have reached a new level in rowing and would like the opportunity to advance to a new level, please contact your coach to be considered for advancing your skill level. To advance to a new level, a rower should review the skills checklist for each level and have a good understanding of the specific rowing assessment required for each skill level sought. A coach can review the requirements with each rower and provide an opportunity to test the skills for each level. It is our intention for all PRC adult rowers to review the check list themselves.
